Two men — one white, one black — return from World War II to work on a family farm. One, the owner’s brother, is charming but haunted by combat memories; the other, the son of black tenant farmers and also a vet, experiences prejudices unseen when he was a tank commander in France. Adjusting to life becomes a struggle for both, and raging racism from deep within is unleashed. (2017, 2:14)
